Delivered in partnership by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) and e-Learning for Healthcare (e-LfH), e-IRMER is a training resource covering the following topics:

• Interpretation of the regulations
• The basic physics associated with ionising radiations
• The risks associated with ionising radiations
• The radio-biological effects of exposure to ionising radiations
• The production of x-rays and nuclear emissions
• The applications of ionising radiations for both diagnostic imaging and therapeutic treatments
• Practical examples of how to reduce patients’ exposures to ionising radiations
• Practical examples of the roles of duty holders

e-IRMER provides easy access to learning materials, and through formative and summative assessments, allows the learner to both develop competence and demonstrate compliance with the regulatory requirements of the IRMER.
